Some shoes have leather in them, in the past it was almost universal that shoes would be made of leather, but with the advent of modern plastics and rubbers most shoes these days aren’t made of leather anymore, since leather is more expensive.Side note, in the past shoes were much more repairable and there were actually people known as cobblers who would make and, get this, repair shoes. Nowadays many modern shoes, especially sneakers, are built in a way that makes them significantly less if not completely unrepairable, which really sucks. We should be able to repair shoes just like in the old days #righttorepair
Aren’t most cheap shoes vegan? It didn’t occur to me this is something I have to watch out form
There are a lot of leather shoes. :)
How mqny cheap shoes are made of real leather?
It’s possible, and if finances are a struggle you just kind of have to make your best guess in some cases, or buy used. Most of the time when shoes have leather, they advertise it pretty boldly, so that helps. Still, you never know - for example, what are the adhesives made out of? That’s why vegan certifications are important, a lot of things can be easily hidden, and a lot of companies aren’t particularly clear on their use of animal products even when reached out to directly.
Going vegan means learning to have to put everything under a microscope. The word ‘vystopia’ exists for good reason.
Burgers and shoes for everyone!

I’m seeing 5 root comments, and a follow up, from the same account, all removed by mods. Was it just a troll or did I miss something exciting?
If you really really really want to know you can go look at blahaj’s mod log - but I warn you that some of the stuff removed can be particularly mean, obscene, illegal etc…

No. Instead, it implies that eating this shoe is better for your health than eating a non-vegan one.
Do we have a term for individuals that refrain from eating shoes? Because vegan shoe or not, I identify as a person who doesn’t eat shoes.

You seen those alligator skin cowboy boots? Thems carnivore shoes
Now I can eat shoes without feeling guilty.
Vegan “leather” is made of plastic. Plastic is a by product of the oil industry. Oil is made out of dinosaurs. Plastic is not vegan.
Take THAT PeTA!
Also huge eye rolling and /s
Ackschully oil is made from plant matter, not dinosorus 🤓
I’m not ready to commit to vegan footwear, but I’m happy with my vegetarian sneakers.
I am pretty sure that called leather
This pair of shoes was made by happy vegan child labor instead of sad carnivore child labor.
